The loss is attributable to tax expenses of $38.1 million that resulted from a deferred tax asset valuation allowance recorded in the first quarter of 2011, in addition to an increase in provision for loan losses as a result of reclassifying $93.4 million in loans to loans held-for-sale and marking the loans to their expected fair value.

The company has received numerous inquiries from investors seeking further insight into the recent market speculation and share price volatility, which it believes are a result of targeted efforts on behalf of short-sellers to reduce ZST's share price and thereby profit financially.

The company believes that the allegations made against it by certain market participants are baseless and without merit. The company's financial position and operations are fundamentally sound, and it continues to be well positioned to benefit from the growth opportunities in the IPTV and commercial GPS markets in Henan Province. The company is in the midst of evaluating various legal options with respect to such baseless statements.

Going forward, we will continue to invest in the smart mobile Internet through increased R&D spending to position Tellabs for long-term growth, said Rob Pullen, Tellabs president and chief executive officer.
